AM2018 EDU09 Management of Adult Sarcoma

This didactic session on the management of adult sarcoma will provide a comprehensive overview of adult sarcoma diagnoses and updates in molecular genetic profiling, prognostic factors, treatments and outcomes. It will review practice management with emphasis on multi-modality patient assessment, decision making and the respective roles of radiation therapy, surgery and chemotherapy. Areas of controversy, innovation and active clinical research will also be discussed.

Target Audience

The meeting is designed to meet the interests of radiation oncologists, radiation oncology residents, radiation physicists, nurses, radiation therapists, and radiation dosimetrists.

Learning Objectives

  • Describe practice management of adult sarcoma with emphasis on multi-modality patient assessment, decision making, and role of radiation therapy.
  • Discuss technical aspects of radiation treatment planning for patients with sarcoma, with updated discussion of studies of outcomes and state of the published data as to what provides the highest value care and best outcomes for patients with sarcoma.
  • Discuss new innovations in sarcoma diagnosis and management with emphasis on sarcoma molecular-genetic markers and differential management approaches that provide added value for patients with various presentations of these biologically and anatomically diverse disease processes.
